If you receive an error on this report (i.e. ORA-00942: table or view does not exist) than you are probably not running OraSnap as SYS. This script is based directly on the X$ tables, which are only visible to the SYS schema. You can either rerun OraSnap as SYS or setup a view (as SYS) and modify this report (allinitora.sql) to query against the new view.
